Q. Hi Oracle, Is the song Ode to Deodorant by Coldplay, or by a different band, The Coldplay, as shown on the demo tape?
The Oracle replies:
That tape recording is from 1998 when Coldplay were still The Coldplay. It's our boys, not the band that were previously called Coldplay before changing their name to The Bettina Motive; Chris asked if they could use The Coldplay once it had been discarded. Keeping up? Good!

Q. Hello dear Oracle! I heard of Cockney, the London's dialect, and I wonder: what are the features of it? And who, among famous people, speaks that way (among the singers maybe Lily Allen? Luke Pritchard?)? Does Chris speak Cockney? Hope you can help. Thanks a lot! Lots of love, sue =)

Q. Dear Oracle, My son and I were wondering what is the highest note sung by Chris on a studio album? He thinks it's in the beginning of Fix You, but I think he goes higher in Talk. We have a small wager riding on this - please enlighten us!
The Oracle replies:
Off the top of my head, I'd have actually said it's neither. Everything's Not Lost would have got my money. Between the two of you though I'd say it's a close call, but Fix You sounds higher to me. I shall ask the man himself in case we're overlooking something obvious.
